Today the French MOA added another 15 H5N8 poultry oubreaks, and 3 new wild bird detections, to their list - bringing the number of farm outbreaks to 129 since the first week of December. These are just the HPAI H5N8 outbreaks, and do not include numerous LPAI outbreaks in the same regions.
While Gers has been the hardest hit department of late, this latest surge comes almost entirely from Landes, which reported 13 outbreaks between January 10th-13th.
Gers and Landes - along with Haute-Pyrenees - have been targeted for extended prophylactic culling of ducks and geese, to try to curb these outbreaks. While scattered outbreaks are still being reported across Europe, France and Bulgaria appear to be getting the worst of it the past couple of weeks.
